ASL Starter Kit #2-GUNS

An even better value that Starter Kit #1.

I've had to teach myself ASL, and I couldn't have done it without the starter kits. A lot of times when I haven't been able to play ASL for a month or two, I'll do a quick read through one of the starter kit rulebooks to brush up...try doing that with the full rules!

Anyway, this is full of infantry and ordnance scenarios and is perfect to snaring new players to ASL. I have gone on to play full ASL, but continue to buy the Starter Kits for this reason (in addition to them being great games with plenty of good scenarios in their own rights).

When I was first getting into ASL, Guns seemed pretty daunting, but once again this starter kit shows just how simple they can be.

The only possible downside is that the rules will inevitably be unable to handle some situations that will crop up (and are definitely not as easy to find things in as in the full rulebook).

Bottom line: The Starter Kit series does a great job is distilling the core ASL rules into an easy package that I've even been able to get non wargamers to grasp!

Most importantly, the transition to full ASL is virtually seamless, you won't have to unlearn anything!

Really great module that makes learning the to hit procedure much simpler. The scenarios are great and allow for play as some of the minors that you would normally have to purchase an expensive module for. I would definitely recommend it to someone new to ASL, and it gives some neat scenarios for more experienced players.

The starter kit does leave out some of the intricacies of guns, but allows for the players to incorporate any that they would like from the full system.
